I Made Something!!

Since the title of this blog is about making things I am happy to announce that I made a bracelet. It's been a long time since I've felt creative and this project sure did make me feel good. Made in copper with turquoise beads it is a prototype for upcoming versions in silver. Thought I had the right size wire, but oops not so.. so the project is on hold till supplies arrive. It is incredibly comforting to know that I still can and will make things again.

This pattern is from a tutorial from Eni Oken's Jewelry Making site, a place I love to go and look at new ideas and buy tutorials at which to try my hand.

Under the Sea

Another wonderful piece of dichroic glass. The depth in the glass is difficult to photograph, but I do like this one picture. I finally managed to have enough wire to make the border on this pendant double, and I like it very much. Although it is not so evident in the picture, the pendant is really quite green. This is another Eni Oken inspired piece using the netted bezel tutorial and the border wrap.
